The content of last year's competition was a tower-defending game like a king, but this year's competition is different, it is a knockout game similar to eating chicken.

There are eight three-person teams, with a total of 24 people. Although some of them look like they are just making up the numbers, there are also many popular magicians. Such a lineup is enough to make all the audience excited.

Under the shocked gazes of thousands of spectators, accompanied by several metallic vibrations, pieces of dark mosaic full of magic rose from the huge square in front of them, gradually forming a huge black magic ball, covering the middle position.

Then, the magic crystal screen hanging in the air made a tingling noise, and after a burst of flashes, the playing field made of magic power in the magic ball appeared.

Such a magical scene attracted the attention of thousands of spectators at the event.

Even though there are some knowledgeable magicians among them, they are still quite surprised by this. Such magic technology has never been seen before. This is because magic technology has only developed in recent years.

The breakthrough does not refer to the crystal display screen, but to the magic venue-building technology in front of us.

“Oh oh oh!!!”

"What is this?? It looks amazing!!"

Even if they have never seen a pig running, many people have eaten pork. They quickly guessed the construction method of the competition venue. Although this method is very novel, they still quickly saw the clues.

"Is it a competition venue that was created using magical equipment? It's really magical! But why is it surrounded?"

Why is it surrounded? Of course it’s because the competition venue is so different from the outside environment.

Since the competition is based on the game mode of chicken, of course, the venue must be designed to be more complex, exciting, and diverse in order to add more fun and interest to the competition.

In addition, there are also proportional and safety considerations.

The former is not much more than that. This arena is not big. To build a huge and complex terrain, it is naturally impossible to realize it on a one-to-one scale. Therefore, the magicians who enter it will adjust the shape appropriately. As for the latter,

The main reason is that they are afraid that the magic of these contestants will be too outrageous and hurt the audience.

You know, these people are the magicians of Fairy Tail!

If nothing else, they are the most lawless group of people in the entire Kingdom of Fiore, and even in the entire Yinshugar!

Whether it is Gildas who has been famous for a long time, Kira who has the title of 'Holy Ten', or the well-known 'Queen', 'Thunder God' and 'Demon', all of these people are like Zhentian Shuo when they fight.

It may even destroy the entire Magnolia, so it must be restricted!

This restriction is to control their magic power within the arena. Once there is a battle that triggers strange phenomena in the world, such as summoning meteorites, volcanic eruptions, etc., the magic power will be generated by the magic power specific to the scene, and no real effects will occur.

Otherwise, it would be too irresponsible to the audience who came to watch the fun! Even if Warlord of the Four Heavenly Kings is present, we can't be so wasteful!

In this regard, Makarov feels that he is still very measured.

…

As the magic shield rose, Kira's eyes blurred, and the surrounding scene also changed.

One second, the clear autumn sky was still above my head, and the next second it turned into a 30-degree scorching sun, and under my feet, there was a sea of ​​sand as far as the eye could see!

Unbearable heat blew towards Kira from the sky and the ground, and beads of sweat poured out from his head, back, hands and feet, instantly soaking his originally warm long sleeves.

Kira looked around and found that he was the only one nearby. He sighed helplessly: "This is going to be difficult! No one told me that this competition is dispersed! Aren't we participating in a small team?"

Kira originally thought that with his own strength, he should be able to fight two against each other, but now it seems that they need to fight independently, so it is not certain whether those two guys can hold on until the team gathers!

"Really, what on earth is the president doing? If you don't say anything like this in advance, isn't it because you are old and have poor memory?"

"Ahem! Don't speak ill of me behind my back!!" At this moment, Makarov's voice suddenly sounded.

"President??" Kira looked at the source of the voice in confusion - the bracelet in his hand.

Makarov gave this bracelet to all the contestants before the game started, saying that as long as they pressed it, a small map of the arena would be displayed.

Kira didn't think much, pressed it, and a virtual screen suddenly appeared above the bracelet.

On the screen, there is a stadium map made up of eight irregular squares of different colors. It is very simple and roughly in the form of left, center and right.

On the left and top of the center is the large desert where Kira is now. Under the desert, on the left is a mechanical maze, and under the maze is a poisonous mire; in the middle is a lava volcano, under the volcano is the ice realm, and under the ice is

Gravity field. As for the far right, the upper half is the ghost cemetery and the lower half is the steel jungle.

Judging from the names, the environments in these eight venues are very harsh, and there are unimaginable dangers. So the contestants face not only the enemies of other teams, but also the crises in these eight venues?

At this moment, Kira's bracelet shows, in addition to this simple small map of the stadium, three green light spots. One of them is located in the great desert, one is in the ghost cemetery, and the last one is in the ice realm. Kira

Knowing that this represents the position of myself, Abby Green and Marcus.

Judging from the surrounding environment, there is no doubt that the place he is in is a large desert. As for the specific dangerous situation the two teammates are in, it is unknown.

"I didn't expect to come to a place like this right away...but compared to other places, this place should be pretty good."

While he was thinking, Makarov's voice appeared again: "You are all very clever. I immediately thought of the bracelet I gave you before. That's right! As you can see, this bracelet has three functions, that is

View the map of this competition, lock yourself and your teammates’ current positions, and make broadcasts convenient for me.”

Sure enough, you can see everything about the contestants outside...

"Speaking of which, this small map is too useless..."

Kira complained silently, but as soon as he finished speaking, Makarov's voice appeared again: "What? You think the little map I gave you is useless?"

Did this old guy turn on a bug?

"I didn't put a bug on the bracelet, but I can tell it from your expressions! Finally, I am very helpless about the rudimentary map. I can only give you one sentence - use it if you like it!"

I'm so convinced! When did this old man's temper become like this?! He said such words in public, and the old senior Volod was right next to him. This president was too unobtrusive!!

But this is the style of "Fairy Tail"...

On the host stage, Makarov had a wicked smile on his face and almost danced while holding up the microphone in his hand, as if he was taking pleasure in tricking these mischievous brats.

"Is it really okay for you to say such a thing, President Makarov?"

"Don't worry, mayor! These brats won't stop reading the map just because of those words."

Makarov was right. Even Natsu and Happy, the slowest reacters among the contestants, were looking at the small map in their hands while heading in the direction of their teammates.

"No matter what, let's go and make peace with the others first. If you meet people from other teams on the way, just defeat them!"

"It looks very dangerous outside. Wouldn't it be terrible if we meet someone from another team? It seems like I'd better stay here and wait for my teammates to come find me..."

"This area seems very interesting... Anyway, I don't know where my opponent is right now, so I'll just explore and find someone."

The mini map is indeed very useful. The contestants either look for teammates, wait for their teammates to find them, or simply ignore their teammates, but they all make their own decisions and start taking action.
Chapter completed!
